I was excited to finally try out the Star Wars mod, and it just quietly crashes.

Do mods work with the GOG version of Mount and Blade 1?

Star Wars Conquest and some other mods are specifically designed for the "enhanced" v1.011 version of the game. GOG's version seems to be a different build (files don't totally match either previous version of 1.011).

The enhanced version doesn't work with the GOG version since it prompts for a product key (so you would still need some non-GOG version of the game to get a key).

Ideally GOG would supply the enhanced version and/or offer a patch to upgrade to the enhanced version.

Edit: Never mind, got M&B and M&B:Warband mixed up.

Thanks, that's good info. I hope GOG will fix this.

The Last Days works flawlessly with GOG's M&B.

Of what i tested

1866 Western Mod works

Star War Conquest 0.9.03 works
(but Star Wars 0.9.04 from their moddb page does not work due to it being for MB enhanced edition, not the GoG one)

The Wedding Dance works

Expanded Gameplay III works

awesome, guys. sw conquest 0.9.04 has much cooler locations but 0.9.03 is still more stable of the two. some people have issues with the glowing planets on world map causing slowdown...but otherwise 0.9.03 is solid for most.

and that's great about the last days. that mod is killer, right? make sure to read the optimization thread on the last days forum for all newcomers. the scenes, music, artwork...it all comes together so well in that mod. I've beaten it three times and will continue to play it here and there. the devs did such a great job. and it's converted to warband too. definitely a big thanks to any of the devs if they see this.

I Just placed the star wars mod into M&B Modules file and it seems to work ok however, I tried a quick battle and couldn't stop it mid run esc didn't work neither would ctrl alt del as it wouldn't stay on screen long enough to use before it went back to the game.

Eventually I went to the settings menu tried ctrl alt del again logged out then back on.

Maybe it's the same with the quick battles in M&B because esc is also used to save and if I remember when I played M&B last you can't save a quick battle.

So far I have only tried 'Calradia X - Red Planet' which so far has worked fine with the gog version if you are looking for another mod to play.

Sorry for some reason I can't post actual links atm

Which version of TLD? 3.3 plus the nightly build?

I thought it needed 1.011 so I copied across the exe from 1.011 into MaB but found a bug whereby I couldn.t leave the training field.
